Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully and respect your home and your pet’s routine. I create a calm and stress-free environment, especially for shy or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood, and I will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Information Katy T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, allergies, and any specific behaviors or preferences. It’s also helpful to know how they respond to new people, other animals, noises, or handling. I have experience with pets of very different personalities, including anxious or sensitive ones, so the more details you share, the better I can adapt my care to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and stress-free.

A typical day

A typical visit is tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, fresh water, meals, and lots of positive interaction to keep them happy and relaxed. For cats, I focus on creating a calm environment with feeding, litter box care, play, and gentle companionship. As a pet parent of five cats and two dogs, I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities—from shy and sensitive to active and playful. My goal is to make every visit feel safe, consistent, and enjoyable for your pet.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m an experienced pet mom of 5 cats and 2 dogs, and I truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality. I’ve cared for shy, anxious, playful, and high-energy pets, including those who need extra patience and gentle handling. One of my cats is very sensitive and requires special care, so I’m very comfortable working with pets that may take time to warm up. I’m calm, patient, and attentive. I always respect each pet’s pace and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter care, or just quiet companionship, I adapt to what your pet needs. I also enjoy long walks and staying active, so I’m happy to provide quality time and exercise for dogs as well. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

Katy is a wonderful sitter who is kind, patient, and detailed. My cat is very shy at the beginning and is afraid to make connection with strangers. But Katy spent time developing trust with my cat and eventually this helped lower her guard. My cat now saw Katy as a very close friend and she loved being petted and showed her belly to Katy! I would 100% recommend Katy to families who have shy cats, she is definitely your go to choice!

I’m truly happy to recommend Katy T. to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and genuinely loving pet caregiver. Katy is an incredible animal lover. She currently cares for five cats and two dogs of her own, and her experience really shows in how naturally she understands animal behavior and needs. She is extremely patient with all animals and always treats them with kindness and respect. What really stands out is how gently she speaks to them, you can tell animals feel safe and comfortable around her right away. I’ve personally seen how amazing she is with pets. She once took care of my hedgehog, and it was honestly impressive. My hedgehog is usually shy, but whenever it heard Katy’s voice, it would come out of its hiding spot to see her. It even stayed calm and cooperative while she gave it a bath and trimmed its nails which something that normally isn’t easy at all! Katy has a natural connection with animals. They trust her, respond to her, and feel at ease in her presence. I have no doubt that any pet in her care will be treated with love, patience, and the highest level of attention. I highly recommend Katy to any pet parent looking for someone they can truly trust.

Hi, I’m Katy’s sister. She grew up in a home full of animals—at one point we had birds, fish, cats, dogs, rabbits, and even hamsters all at the same time. She has always loved animals, and that hasn’t changed. Today she takes care of five cats, two dogs, and also raises three kids. With her background as a teacher, she is very organized, patient, and caring. I’ve seen how attentive she is to every animal’s needs. I’m really happy she’s doing something she truly enjoys, combining her love for animals and walking. I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver.

I’ve known Katy for a very long time—since back when she was a teacher in Taiwan—and I can confidently say she is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. She currently cares for five cats and two dogs, and the love, attention, and companionship she gives them truly show in how happy and well-adjusted they are. Katy is incredibly patient, attentive to each pet’s needs, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I would trust her completely to care for any pet as if they were her own.
